Apple is one of the three most valuable companies in the world and is sitting on a pile of around $100,000,000,000 ($100 Billion). Execs at Apple are about to announce what they're going to spend all that money on. Ahead of that — we thought we'd try to provide a little context for just how much scratch that really is.

But, what Apple really could do — if it really wanted to "Think Different" — would be to buy some car companies. And they actually could do it. They've got enough cash to buy all three U.S. automakers — and enough money to spend on paying back a decent-sized chunk of that auto bailout loan. Then they could build that "iCar" everyone keeps claiming they should build.

Check out the rest of the things Apple could be spending that money on in our infoporn to your left.

It turns out spending $100,000,000,000 is almost as hard as earning it.
